Jots and Tittles

So, because I didn't write a formal research paper for my thesis, I get to instead write a formal reflection paper, reflecting on my experience writing the thesis. Seven pages, in fact, of reflecting on my experience writing the thesis.

It's 1 in the morning. I'm tired. My fingers hurt. I got to six and a half pages, and finally I snapped, and wrote the following.

Still, with as much of a struggle as it was, I am glad that I did it. I have learned how to play the game and tell all you silly university folks exactly what you want to hear, which I am sure will do wonders for me when I am someday trying to claw my way up the corporate ladder and have to bullshit my way though that like I managed to do for school. Hooray for the honors program which has taught me how to bullshit better than most. I am sure the skill will come in handy when I have to bullshit my way into a career I don't really want so that I can stay alive. Whoop de friggen do. Let's throw Brittany a party, because she has learned how to play the game better than anyone else we know! Some days I feel like Comicus from History of the World Part 1. I swear, that's my future. "Did you bullshit last week?" "No." "Did you try to bullshit last week?" "Yes." Only in my case I will have succeeded in bullshitting last week because the honors program did such a grand job at teaching me how. Well done, honors program! You have another little stooge to call your very own graduate! You must be so proud.

Of course, I didn't actually leave that in there, because it's not what they want to hear, and didn't I say that I'm a master at telling them what they want to hear?  But it was tempting.  Reeeeaaaaallllllyyyyyy tempting.

Like I said, I snapped!  It's been a week from hell and next week isn't looking to be very much better.  Thank goodness I have the ball this weekend or I might go bonkers altogether, and wouldn't that be fun?
